I'm looking for an enclosure for the meta42 I'll be building soon. I'm looking at the Serpac A-27/A-31, but those can only fit 1 9V battery. . .

Hmm, this one looks interesting. . .

Sure, you'd have to open it each time you wanted to change out batteries. . . but it looks ok.

Is it ok size wise? 4.7 X 2.6 X 1.4

Okay, so you know the board size (it's given on the site), and you know the height of your components (in their datasheets) and you know how many batteries you want to use....

So is there a question left worth answering?

Oh, I do have something substantive: consider the AD823. It will power Sennheiser 580s just fine from a single 9V battery. With a conservatively-configured META42, this combo with EL2001s will draw on the order of 10 mA...it's a very efficient setup, and it still sounds great, to me.

Come on... If your gonna DIY, then DIY!!

Go buy a sheet of 1/4" acrylic in whatever color you choose, buy a saw and some glue and a drill (stuff you probably already have around), some steel weool to smooth the edges and make a case that looks MUCH better than anything hammond makes.

You can get clear acrylic sheets at home depot or wherever and when your done, you'll have a case that shows-off your handywork!

I was looking at these:

The problem is, it seems like all it is a plastic box. Are there any that would make pcb mounting easier, etc?
